Selected players from France are now known

MIAMI – FLA. In February 2017, for the first time of an U.S soccer Club’s history, the FC Miami City went to Paris, France to conduct its first tryout overseas.

In partnership with the French Ligue 1, The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), OKLM, Edusport Academy, our coaching staff have scouted more than 720+ players on 4 days (February 16th to 19th 2017).

From that, we select 10 players and only 7 lucky ones are here in Miami to compete in the 2017 USL PDL season for the FC Miami City.

Our coaching staff in France has done a tremendous job in selecting players from the tryout conducted in partnership with the French Ligue 1 said Youri Vaisse, FC Miami City General Manager. We feel very ambitious with such great players thus far.

You will find below the players who made the cut and are wearing the blue jersey for this tremendous season:
